Mehman
That works out to a win rate of roughly 1 in 10 starts—solid enough to keep the yard interested, but not the kind of record that turns heads. What is more striking is the gap since his last victory: he won at Dundalk on 17 January 2025, and in the 21 months since then he has not crossed the line first despite plenty of opportunities. His most recent six races tell the story of a horse trying hard without getting the luck—three third-place finishes, a fifth, a seventh, and a tenth. He raced just a day ago, so he remains active and clearly still competing.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The good news for the yard at trainer P J F Murphy's Castlecomer yard is that Mehman does have a preferred surface. On normal ground conditions, he wins roughly 1 in every 6 races (4 wins from 23 attempts), which is nearly double his overall win rate. That is the kind of stat that gives hope: find the right track on the right day, and this horse can deliver. Jockey Shane Foley has had particular success aboard him, winning 2 of their 11 races together—an 18% win rate that sits well above Mehman's baseline. If the horse can recapture the form that brought success at Dundalk two years ago, a combination of Foley in the saddle and normal ground underfoot might just provide the spark needed to end this long drought.
